· Large mature jarrah tree, and; · Protected at the base by a wooden raised platform.
This King Jarrah Tree which is four kilometres east of Manjimup just off Perup Rd has an interesting story about how it survived the early timber industry. In 1910 a man by the name of Bert Blakers heard that this large jarrah tree was due to be felled the next day. Recognising it as special, he went into the forest and marked it ‘to be protected’. To reassure himself that he had made the correct decision he got on his pushbike and rode to Bridgetown to speak personally to his boss Mr Brockman who agreed with his decision. This early conservation endeavour allows locals and tourists in 2005 to continue to admire a very old mature tree. Refer to 16.4 for more historical notes
